lyrics

It's the moon of the night, the day of the samurai
No, it's just more nonsense, if you don't care you don't have to try
Cause this heart is a hummingbird for questions still unheard
And this soul is a coal mine looking for a bird to choke

And I
I try
I try to forget
But these dreams are a fortress

None of these things come easy still there's one that's hard to breathe
Tonight but tomorrow these lies will come with ease
Cause the heart is a hummingbird for lessons left unlearned
And this soul is an abandoned home with matches left to burn

And I
I try
I try to forget
But these dreams are a fortress

And everytime I come here I wonder if it can be the last
If I'll finally shoot my mouth off, get me back some normal life
But cliches like that make hummingbird hearts attack
The banks and the breaks and the empty space where two lips say they won't be coming back

And I
I try
I try to forget
But these dreams are a fortress

So I
I lie
I lie to forget
These dreams are a fortress
